英语中两个并列名词,何时用就近,何时用就远,何时用复数?

题目

英语中两个并列名词,何时用就近,何时用就远,何时用复数?
比如说A and B 这时后面动词用复数。而A with B 这时动词用A的。有没有什么规律？

答案

主谓一致中的靠近原则
1）当there be 句型的主语是一系列事物时,谓语应与最邻近的主语保持一致.例如：
There is a pen,a knife and several books on the desk.桌上有一支笔、一把小刀和几本书.
There are twenty boy-students and twenty-three girl-students in the class.班上有二十个男孩,二十三个女孩.
2）当either… or… 与neither… nor,连接两个主语时,谓语动词与最邻近的主语保持一致.如果句子是由here,there引导,而主语又不止一个时,谓语通常也和最邻近的主语一致.例如：
Either you or she is to go.不是你去,就是她去.
Here is a pen,a few envelops and some paper for you.给你笔、信封和纸.
谓语动词与前面的主语一致
当主语后面跟有with,together with,like,except,but,no less than,as well as 等词引起的短语时,谓语动词与前面的主语一致.
The teacher together with some students is visiting the factory.
He as well as I wants to go boating.
与后接名词或代词保持一致
1） 用half of,part of,most of,a portion of 等词引起主语时,动词通常与of后面的名词,代词保持一致.
Most of his money is spent on books.
Most of the students are taking an active part in sports.
2） 在一些短语,如 many a 或 more than one 所修饰的词作主语时,谓语动词多用单数形式.但由more than… of 作主语时,动词应与其后的名词或代词保持一致.
Many a person has read the novel.许多人都读过这本书.
More than 60 percent of the students are from the city.百分之六十多的学生都来自这个城市.
